Paycor Stadium to host Ohio high school football region championship
According to FOX19 NOW’s Joe Danneman, the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Region 4 championship game between Elder and St. Xavier has been officially moved to Paycor Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals.
Originally the postseason game was supposed to be played at Beacon Orthopaedics TriHealth Stadium in Mason, but moved to Paycor Stadium to accommodate what’s expected to be a large crowd on hand.
ESPN college football analyst Rocky Boiman was one of the advocates on Monday as the former NFL’er sent out a plea to the OHSAA to allow the Elder-St. Xavier game to be moved to a bigger venue. Below is the post that Boiman put out on X, formerly known as Twitter, regarding the contest.
